I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

I owe ebay £205 iv got about 60 pounds in paypal Any ideas what i should do

Use a VCC and pay eBay directly or list an item and use another account to buy it, so the funds get brought up to the level you need. Obviously a bit more costly in fees etc

If you're familiar with a entropay, that would be the quickest way to get this sorted out.

Yeah i am when i first started stealth paypal didn't except it so im a bit dubious about using it for Ebay.. Its a not liked stealth way of payment ,,I dont trust it

Do they have prepaid cards in the UK? If so, use one of them. Or a virtual account like Entropay. In the US some banks offer that service. Or you can transfer it from your bank to PP in advance of the need.

Entropay is fine for eBay, just not PayPal. Supermarket Prepay cards work on also. Or sell something to yourself. Multiple options.

I personally would not upload funds from your bank to PayPal as it will show the name on the bank account, and any manual review of your PP account will then show the mismatched names - instant limitation.

you can pay your ebay fees using vcc, you can create it on entropay

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

Entropay is your simplest way of paying this off. You're not linking it to PayPal. Just using it on eBay to pay this off. That's fine to do.

what do you think of the other suggestion just list something on my other account then buy it on this one ?

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

You could, but seems a bit of a hassle. Also if you do this often, accounts could potentially get linked.

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

Yes, its common sense not to do it more than once on an account.

Why not just pop to Sainsburies and pick up a prepay credit card?

I need to pay at least 160 pounds do they do that much on supermarket cards

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

If not on one card, multiple gift cards certainly.

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

You can use VCC for pay.

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

I thinks this will be the more safer option so if i buy 3 x 50 pounds cards that should do it right ?

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

Im no mathematician, but if you need to pay £160, 3 x 50 Cards arent gonna make up 160...

You can buy four, and then use the excess on the fourth one as fuel or something. Bare in mine the fees on those cards are like 2.50-4.00 quid a card, see what works out best in terms of costs.

You used to be able to get £100 prepaid visa gift cards in Morrisons. Not sure if they still do them as I haven't needed any lately.

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

Lol.

But yes his right, there are a lot of ludicrous fees with these cards, this is where they make their money.

Best to buy 4 x £50 cards to get it cleared. Although I still feel entropay would be less hassle, and cheaper. But your call.

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

just flog some stuff on ebay in the next 3 days dont want the hassle of all these pre paid cards

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

Iv already paid it with 3 cards

Re: I dont have enough money in my paypal account to pay ebays fees
 

Way to get it done :thumb:
